A cast member of the gay reality TV show “A-List Dallas” tells The Daily Caller that he was punched to the ground and bloodied Friday night by someone vandalizing his car because he’s a gay conservative associated with commentator Ann Coulter.

Taylor Garrett, a Republican consultant in Texas who stars in the reality series on the channel LOGO TV, said in an interview that he was attacked outside a birthday party in Dallas after finding a vandal scratching “F–k Coulter” on the side of his car.

Garrett said the incident reflects a troubling mindset.

“The Democrats want me to live on their plantation as their slave, because I’m a gay person,” he said. “And I refuse to do that.”

Photos provided by Garrett to TheDC show the phrase about Coulter keyed in large letters across his car. Other photos show Garrett with a bloody ear and blood covering his white shirt.

“I was at a party and one of my friends arrived and I had a present for him, so I went back to my car to get the present,” he recalled. “When I walked out to my car, I saw someone squatting next to my car.”

After asking the vandal what he was doing, Garrett said the large man stood up and decked him in his left eye. Garrett fell to the ground. He also scraped up his body by falling into some glass that was next to his car, Garrett said. The attacker got away.

Garrett, who has done work with groups run by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, says he has been subject to harassment and threats for being a gay conservative since news broke that he was having lunch with Coulter in Los Angeles for his show.

Garrett found a rock, with a threatening note attached that was anti-conservative, last month thrown through his living room window, he said.

On Friday night after the incident with the vandal, Garrett said his friends called an ambulance, but paramedics did not take him to the hospital.

Garrett said he begged the police not to put his name on the police report, because “I didn’t want to be in the press again about this,” but his friends convinced him otherwise.

The show “A-List Dallas” is a reality show following several gay men navigating life in Texas. Garrett said he wasn’t filming for the show when the Friday night incident occurred.

He also said he’s disgusted by those in the gay community and media who doubt him and accuse him of trying to gin up publicity for himself by going public with these stories.

Garrett said he decided to join the show because he wanted to show that there are gay “conservative, Republican, Christians” out there. But he said he has been “destroyed by the gay community” for his views and he’s doubtful he’ll return for another season after this.

“I would’ve thought people would have been a little more tolerant considering that our community advocates for tolerance, but it has been nothing but mean spirited attacks, especially after the Ann Coulter scene,” he said.

The point of having lunch with Coulter, he said, is to show people that “just because you don’t support gay marriage doesn’t make you a bigot, doesn’t mean you hate gay people, it just means you disagree on gay issues.”

Coulter did not immediately return a request for comment.

“The left has turned on anyone that might not agree with gay marriage, they have demonized them,” he said.http://dailycaller.com/2011/11/12/gay-tv-star-claims-he-was-assaulted-bloodied-for-being-a-conservative-associated-with-ann-coulter/#ixzz1dWw3gQN0

Those who oppose marriage equality and bitch about DADT going the way of other dinosaurs are the same people, by and large (note the qualification there) who thought it was OK to purge gay people from federal jobs, to deny gay people security clearances, to prohibit gay people from teaching school, to discriminate against gay people in housing, to prosecute gay people for going to gay bars or having relations in their homes, who claimed that the Lawrence decision was the end of the world, who think that the BSA should be able to discriminate against gay kids and leaders while still getting sweetheart deals on the use of public facilities, who think that the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association's deal to keep the boardwalk free of taxes by making the pavilion available to the public had an exception for use by gay residents of Ocean Grove.... and so on.

I don't think that you do. Heterosexual couples, especially married ones have many habits and behaviors which publicly declare their sexual relationship. They refer to each other as husband and wife. They often sit together with their bodies touching. They hold hands in the mall and kiss goodbye at the train station.

The BSA and the Catholic Church were both confronted with people who demanded that gays be included in the leadership. The BSA refused and the Church acquiesed. Today, the Church is under attack for a massive wave of homosexual attacks by gay priests, while the BSA hasn't had any scandals.

You are jumping on the science and the laws, but you are using that as a basis to argue that a 16-year-old is not a child (you explicitly state this) and for you to make those points in the context of the discussion clearly amounts to justifying isexual contact between a sixteen year-old and an adult.

Once we get 12 year old girls on the approved list, they can begin assaulting the age of males. Why not a 10 year old boy? He has as much right to sex as his female counterpart.

You are jumping on the science and the laws, but you are using that as a basis to argue that a 16-year-old is not a child (you explicitly state this) and for you to make those points in the context of the discussion clearly amounts to justifying isexual contact between a sixteen year-old and an adult. NJ called it.

I'm sure most people would understand his responses that way , but like so many liberals he keeps redefining terms, today we have a question as to his definition of justify, if words no longer have their given meaning any argument with him ends in frustration. We end up with what your definition of is is.

No, it doesn't.

One more time: a sixteen year old is not a child, he is a young adult. That doesn't justify a teacher having sex with him. Snookie is a liar.

Once he and his sympathizers get us to concede that 16 is ok, they'll present the same argument that 12 is ok for girls only since they develop about that time. Once we get 12 year old girls on the approved list, they can begin assaulting the age of males. Why not a 10 year old boy? He has as much right to sex as his female counterpart.

This argument needs to be shut down before it takes root.:mad:

I realize that it's unreasonable to expect you to do your homework, but the marriageable age in the US ranges from no minimum upward. It used to be 7 years old in some state. That was exclusively for heterosexuals, so you can't lay that one on gay people however you might see gay people.

But to Snookie apparently, if a person merely states the facts or addresses something objectively, then he is necessarily justifying it. SO maybe Snookie isn't a liar, maybe he's just of limited intellect.

You were making the case that it was somehow reasonably or acceptable, you weren't necessarily saying it was acceptable to you. It is kind of like these people that say they think abortion is morally wrong for them personally but they don't care if someone else has one.

Young adult is not a legal term. One is either a minor (i.e., child) or an adult in the eyes of the law. This is why in almost every state's laws that you've cited, there is a requirement for parental or judicial consent below the age of consent. Claiming that the law permits a parent to consent to marriage or sexual contact for a 16-year-old doesn't mean that in the eyes of the law, the 16-year-old is an adult. Regardless of how adult you personally felt at 16 (my 7-year-old also claims to be old enough to make her own decisions, BTW), an adult who had relations with you would have been guilty of statutory rape.

You are claiming that you don't approve of sexual relations between a student and teacher, but then go to great lengths to argue that a 16-year-old boy is, historically and socially, prepared for sexual relationships. Are you saying that you don't approve of a teacher having a sexual relationship with a high school student because of the age of the student, or because of the student/teacher relationship and the conflicts of interest? Would you object to a prof having a sexual relationship with an undergrad in one of his courses who was otherwise a legal adult? If that were the case, then NJ is correct on the critical point, which is that you are justifying sexual conduct between teens and adults where no other conflict exists.

But to Snookie apparently, if a person merely states the facts or addresses something objectively, then he is necessarily justifying it. SO maybe Snookie isn't a liar, maybe he's just of limited intellect.

NJ said that you stated that "[Nova] tried to justify it by saying it's different because male high school students aren't really children".

Nova provided the actual quote, where he said, "At sixteen I did not consider myself to be a child. Biologically, mammals only come in two speeds: infant and adult. Childhood is a social construct and one which has changed considerably over time, being extended well into adulthood in the last two centuries. Historically, Anglo Saxon people have been known to marry, go to college, ascend to the throne, or go to war at age 16.

We're not talking about children here. I was observing the inconsistency in our law and culture. At sixteen I did not consider myself a child. Did you?"

You're ignoring the context of the rest of the statement. . .Childhood/adolescence/teenager as a sociological concept didn't even come into existence till the early part of the last century, am I right?

I mean, would you really consider a 16 year old kid from 1680's or even 1880's Europe a child? By this time that person may be a parent, a warrior, an administrator, in training as a cleric, or a taxpaying worker. It's only recently that a 16 year old wasn't expected to work to contribute to the house hold or be on a serious way to being on their own.

That's the context we're talking about. For good or for ill, we've extended childhood beyond what biology set forward, and the law is reflecting an artificial reality rather than biological reality. It is what it is. Personally, we no longer have to propagate before we drop dead at 40, so these laws are a luxury of civilization, and they are intended for a civilized people, but on a primal, instinct-driven level, they make no sense.

That's what you're missing.

18 is the legal age for adulthood. Anyone under 18 needs to obtain PARENTAL CONSENT. Therefore; you should conclude that anyone below the age of 18 is legally a MINOR.

Claiming that the law permits a parent to consent to marriage or sexual contact for a 16-year-old doesn't mean that in the eyes of the law, the 16-year-old is an adult. .

The law does permit it, the law use the term "emancipated minor" which is what that 16 year old would be after she gets married.

EMANCIPATION IN FLORIDA
(Removal of disabilities of nonage of minor F.S. 743)

• Emancipation is the removal of disability of nonage. In other words,
emancipation is the act by which a person gains all the rights and responsibilities
of an adult.

• In Florida, emancipation automatically occurs when a minor reaches 18 years of
age or when they marry. However, a minor cannot get married without parental
consent.

The last part of the selection only applies to minors who have not been married. If Jennifer marries Gary Geezer with parental consent while pregnant at 15 years old, and divorces him on her 16th birthday, she can then remarry without parental consent.

No, he's pointing out there is a different in biology and laws, and even there there is some similarities in the law matching biology. Your also getting PHYSICAL maturation confused with Mental maturation and the ability to handle those kind of relationships.

Also, in most incidents it's heterosexual males that are the abusers (about 68% of them), not homosexual males (roughly about 8%). NAMBLA is a group of fucked up individuals that belong to that small group, and personally think they should all (including heterosexual male sex abusers) be thrown on to and island with Komodo dragons, stark naked and bleeding.

Nova contended(I hope to find the thread) that female teacher to male student sex isn't as serious as male teacher to female student then went on some cockamamie tangent that in the mammal kingdom there are infants and adults implying that, I dunno, that at some point a human infant becomes an adult but not by legal standards. I could care less the man's sexual orientation, this is wrong thinking. This isn't the 18th century anymore where people had to grow up far earlier than today. Back in the day, yes, you were basically an adult at 16(there's a scene in the movie The Patriot where the 2nd eldest son wanted to follow his brother(Heath Ledger) to join the Colonials in the Revolution and was trying to make the case to his father by saying that some of his friends were already fighting). But today, it's very different. The psychological makeup is much, much different. Just because a female the age of 11 can have children no more makes her an adult than a 16 year old who was taken advantage of by his teacher is an adult.

That said, how come no comment on my Sandusky question? Are the infant/adult correlations different between male and females? Allegedly 1 or 2 of his victims were 13 or 14. Just a couple years off of these 16 year old kids screwing their teachers. Why is it a crime when a man screws teens? In truth, Nova was trying to minimize the seriousness of the crimes of people like Latarneau(sp) or Lefave by giving us this biology bullshit. If he didn't think female teacher/male student sex wasn't a big deal, why bring the biology crap up in the first place?

Also, stop thinking every debate with the guy is some anti-gay crusade. I'd argue the same point if the guy had the reputation of Don Juan.

Statistically, I doubt it's a blip. We're hearing about it more, and the Baby Boomer parents who never cease to amaze us are not of a single mind on the subject.

Also our laws are schizophrenic in this area. Nicole could have banged that young man daily if she had had his parents' consent.

The law is at odds with nature and nature always wins by longevity.

The state of Illinois and other states permit a 16 year old to have sex with a person aged 16 to 100 as long as the 16 year old has the permission of his parents or a judge to be married.

At sixteen I did not consider myself to be a child. Biologically, mammals only come in two speeds: infant and adult. Childhood is a social construct and one which has changed considerably over time, being extended well into adulthood in the last two centuries. Historically, Anglo Saxon people have been known to marry, go to college, ascend to the throne, or go to war at age 16.

We're not talking about children here. I was observing the inconsistency in our law and culture. At sixteen I did not consider myself a child. Did you?

This goes on and on and he kept up the same argument. And he was questioned time and again about if he condoned sex between adults and minors and he NEVER answered the question to this day. Not to mention that like this thread, we were being accused of disagreeing with him because he's gay. Well, I guess if you don't have the race card to play, might as well play the gay card. :rolleyes:

I didn't consider myself a child when I was 10, however, hindsight being what it is, I was a child even at 16, per the law.

I don't know about that. It was the gay liberal who called him a whore and then accused everyone else here of being liars for quoting him on a completely unrelated topic.

This is one of the first times I have to disagree with you. It is a false assumption and conclusion you make. This guy has 180 degree opposite sexual viewpoints from most conservatives and he is still on the "plantation." If anything, I'd think he would be driven closer to the Conservative plantation by being beaten by Liberals.

I think you are mixing up two different discussions there. I have already linked to the closed thread in which I mentioned the clinical distinction between infant and adult. The statement about female teacher on male student was in another thread which I can't remember enough about to search for.

While I don't remember the thread, I do remember what I said, because I have said it more than once. You, my dear Snookie, have a habit of leaving out words in my posts when you read them and then deciding what they say based on your read. This is dishonest intellectually and otherwise. I feel certain that if you can find that post, you will see that I said that that the impact of female on male is less than male on female and that the consequences for female on male are less than they are for male on female. Those statements were contingent on society's view of the fact that females get penetrated and can get pregnant as well as society's view that young men who get some are lucky whereas young women who get some are dirty. Any value judgement you ascribe to me on that basis was in your own head. So when you repeat your error (and you will), you should qualify your statement with "my take on his post was" rather than "Nova said." Understand?

I asked a legitimate question. How is fettpett sure Nova doesn't have the same line of thinking as Nambla perverts? Especially since he is adamant about making the distinction between legal and biological "adult" status is at odds with each other.

The question about intimate friendship implied more than just an inquiry into beliefs.

Intimate as in knowing Nova on a deeper level or in person, enough to KNOW that he can't possibly be a proponent of Nambla. Are you going to harp on the word DEEPER too?

I didn't mean intimate in a sexual context...just because Nova is gay.

If he hasn't answered the question , why are you answering it for him and saying he does condone it? I don't see people on this forum going after one another and using the terms, attitude, and language toward him that they feel is okay to use on him. That's why I wonder if it's anti-gay prejudice out loud.

And your last sentence concedes Nova's point. In the eyes of the law, you were a child. But were you one in a physical sense?

I answered you before and I will answer you again: the law permits sex between minors and legal adults. To condone sex between a sixteen year old or not condone it would first require that it be a universally bad or illegal thing- it simply isn't. I have shown you that repeatedly. Our law and society approve of sex between 16 year olds and those over 18 (and previously those over 21) with some regularity- I have shown you this. Thus, is is not for me to condone or not condone, it is the law.

Now if you want to know whether I condone sex between a high school (or lesser) teacher and a student, then I do not. To get the right answer, you have to ask the right question. Otherwise, I'm bound to think you are being obnoxious and ignore the question.

So what you're saying is that it's ok for me to waltz over to me local high school, seduce a 16 year old girl, and I can legally bang her like a Salvation Army drum? Also, answer the Sandusky question.

Thus, is is not for me to condone or not condone, it is the law.
The law permits a parent to decide if their minor child should be allowed to have sex. It does not give a blanket approval to sex between legal adults and minors, nor does society. You are misinterpreting the law.

Now if you want to know whether I condone sex between a high school (or lesser) teacher and a student, then I do not. To get the right answer, you have to ask the right question. Otherwise, I'm bound to think you are being obnoxious and ignore the question.
Since I asked it, several times, how about answering it?

Are you saying that you don't approve of a teacher having a sexual relationship with a high school student because of the age of the student, or because of the student/teacher relationship and the conflicts of interest? Would you object to a prof having a sexual relationship with an undergrad in one of his courses who was otherwise a legal adult? If that were the case, then NJ is correct on the critical point, which is that you are justifying sexual conduct between teens and adults where no other conflict exists.

BTW, I missed this the first time around.

The law does permit it, the law use the term "emancipated minor" which is what that 16 year old would be after she gets married.

EMANCIPATION IN FLORIDA
(Removal of disabilities of nonage of minor F.S. 743)

• Emancipation is the removal of disability of nonage. In other words,
emancipation is the act by which a person gains all the rights and responsibilities
of an adult.

• In Florida, emancipation automatically occurs when a minor reaches 18 years of
age or when they marry. However, a minor cannot get married without parental
consent.

The last part of the selection only applies to minors who have not been married. If Jennifer marries Gary Geezer with parental consent while pregnant at 15 years old, and divorces him on her 16th birthday, she can then remarry without parental consent.
Emancipation presumes that a minor is not an adult until that is recognized through their attaining the age of majority or when their parents have consented to their marriage. I.e., a minor cannot marry without first being given permission by a legal guardian. You are glossing over the fact that, by law, a minor is not recognized as an adult before achieving the age of 18 unless the parents of that minor emancipate him/her. This doesn't support your argument, it obliterates it.
